I don't mind copy-pasting stuff, especially when there's that cool tool to copy paste entire-directories and usually only work with one script at a time.
Currently been using VS Code and copy-pasting to ChatGPT (others seem to have much conversation limits, output limits, weak knowledge base, etc.). Was even thinking of buying CoPilot $10 tier but it has terrible (response length limits)[https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release/issues/3...].
In Show HN: My Attempt to Organize the World of AI Dev ToolsShow HN: Copilot Next Edit Suggestions in VS Code
Hi HN, long time reader here, working on VS Code since before it was called so. You probably don't know me, but among other things, I'm probably responsible for the silent eradication of mixed line endings from your code ;-). Please don't upvote https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/127
I wanted to get your honest feedback on the new UX we've built for Next Edit Suggestions or NES for short. For the past few weeks, we've been doing, tweaking and redoing many things trying to get NES to feel right. But I think we can still improve it.
The team would love if you could please try it out for a few minutes and give us some honest feedback (you need to sign in with GitHub, install the Copilot extension and enable `"github.copilot.nextEditSuggestions.enabled": true`).
Please open issues at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release

Thank you!
It looks like there was a fix to this that is live in the next release.

Edit: For those who don't believe me, https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release/issues/6.... Gpt-4 for chat, 3.5 for code.

15 points · Open discussionThat original note about it using both 4 and 3.5 was from this comment on November 2nd: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release/issues/6...
GPT-4 Turbo - the much cheaper version of 4 - was announced on November 6th. So there's a good change they've switched to that at some point in the last 6 months.
In Did GitHub Copilot increase my productivity?Looks like Copilot may use GPT4 or GPT3.5 depending on as of yet unpublished criteria: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release/issues/6...
For code review, I tend to engage Copilot Chat which probably uses GPT4 more often? https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/58059#discussi...
